This modification to Bill'...more Kudos, Dotty. This modification to Bill's Trail will install approx. 100 "pinch points" to slow down a user group that cannot self-moderate itself. No pinch points are needed for hikers or equestrians, yet we will have to deal with the inconvenience and increased danger of a negotiating pinch points while bikes will still be going too fast. Their own organization (IMBA)has recently stated that for land managers, SEPARATE tails for bikes may be the prudent way to go. This is the only thing that will work in the long run, since mb trails are constructed differently than horse/hiker trails to be sustainable-with rolled up berms for flow trails... take a look at Camp Tamarancho bike trails (all the environmental damage there to the trees). State Parks continues the illogical and dangerous procedures instituted under a directorship that for many years ignored the concerns of hikers and equestrians. Don't believe me? who is willing to hike or ride at China Camp State Park where STRAVA bike runs show speeds of 40 MPH on multi use trails?
